Israel: Israel said Wednesday that an airstrike targeted Iranian Intelligence Minister Esmail Khatib, as hostilities between the two regional foes continued to escalate. Israeli Channel 12 reported that Tel Aviv is still assessing the results of the attack, without giving any further details.

According to Anadolu Agency, regional escalations continued to rage as Israel and the US have continued a joint offensive on Iran since Feb. 28, killing so far around 1,300 people, including then-Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. In response, Iran has retaliated with drone and missile strikes targeting Israel, Jordan, Iraq, and Gulf countries hosting US military assets. These retaliations have caused casualties, damage to infrastructure, and disruptions to global markets and aviation.
